Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump's closing remarks...

Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump's closing remarks...

Here is a video link

http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/the-conversation/sd-hillary-clinton-donald-trump-unscripted-closing-statements-in-debate-differ-20161019-htmlstory.html

but I do not see a way to separate out the actual video to post it as a stand alone feature.

Does anyone have a video link to the closing arguments?

Here are the words if anyone would rather just read them (from the this link https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/10/19/the-final-trump-clinton-debate-transcript-annotated/) :

With one minute to respond, this is how Clinton closed the debate:

Well, I would like to say to everyone watching tonight that I'm reaching out to all Americans -- Democrats, Republicans, and independents -- because we need everybody to help make our country what it should be, to grow the economy, to make it fairer, to make it work for everyone. We need your talents, your skills, your commitments, your energy, your ambition.

You know, I've been privileged to see the presidency up close. And I know the awesome responsibility of protecting our country and the incredible opportunity of working to try to make life better for all of you. I have made the cause of children and families really my life's work.

That's what my mission will be in the presidency. I will stand up for families against powerful interests, against corporations. I will do everything that I can to make sure that you have good jobs, with rising incomes, that your kids have good educations from preschool through college. I hope you will give me a chance to serve as your president.



And this is how Trump closed the debate:

She's raising the money from the people she wants to control. Doesn't work that way.

But when I started this campaign, I started it very strongly. It's called "Make America Great Again." We're going to make America great. We have a depleted military. It has to be helped, has to be fixed. We have the greatest people on Earth in our military. We don't take care of our veterans. We take care of illegal immigrants, people that come into the country illegally, better than we take care of our vets. That can't happen.

Our policemen and women are disrespected. We need law and order, but we need justice, too. Our inner cities are a disaster. You get shot walking to the store. They have no education. They have no jobs. I will do more for African-Americans and Latinos than she can ever do in 10 lifetimes.

All she's done is talk to the African-Americans and to the Latinos, but they get the vote, and then they come back, they say, we'll see you in four years. We are going to make America strong again, and we are going to make America great again, and it has to start now. We cannot take four more years of Barack Obama, and that's what you get when you get her.





Quite a contrast, eh?

I wonder if he will think this as all worth it when his "empire" dwindles to nothing.

To me, that's one of the most outlandish remarks he made during the debate.

and have no education and no jobs. No one is talking about this because this is the sort of thing we've come to expect from Trump. It's sad how he has normalized racism and sexism through his candidacy.

7. Sounds like they are planning on stealing votes in minority neighborhoods

to win the Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin Senate races. Trump keeps playing this song over and over about how inner cities ewill support him, knowing full well he gets zero votes there. Makes me very suspicious given past history in places like Florida 2000. Cleveland 2004, and Milwaukee 2011.

...too damn many people have guns who should not have them. Why can't you figure that out, if you have such a good brain?

They don't have good education because YOUR PARTY keeps cutting its funding!

Personally, I would take another DECADE or two of Barack Obama. NOBODY in my lifetime has served more brilliantly in the White House. Probably nobody since Thomas Jefferson has (possible exception of FDR).
